Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells and macrophages (MQ) are two very important cells involved in the normal wound healing process. It is well understood that topological cues and mechanical factors can lead to different responses in stem cells and MQ by influencing their shape, cytoskeleton proliferation, migration, and differentiation, which play an essential role in the success or failure of biomaterial implantation and more importantly wound healing. On the other hand, the polarization of MQ from proinflammatory (M1) to prohealing (M2) phenotypes has a critical role in the acceleration of wound healing. In this study, the morphology of different MQ subtypes (M0, M1, and M2) was imprinted on a silicon surface (polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS]) to prepare a nano-topography cell-imprinted substrate with the ability to induce anti-inflammatory effects on the mouse adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and RAW264.7 monocyte cell line (MO). The gene expression profiles and flow cytometry of MQ revealed that the cell shape microstructure promoted the MQ phenotypes according to the specific shape of each pattern. The ELISA results were in agreement with the gene expression profiles. The ADSCs on the patterned PDMS exhibited remarkably different shapes from no-patterned PDMS. The MOs grown on M2 morphological patterns showed a significant increase in expression and section of anti-inflammatory cytokine compared with M0 and M1 patterns. The ADSCs homing in niches heavily deformed the cytoskeletal, which is probably why the gene expression and phenotype unexpectedly changed. In conclusion, wound dressings with M2 cell morphology-induced surfaces are suggested as excellent anti-inflammatory and antiscarring dressings.

Abstract
By means of a "live-cell" template strategy, silica replicas displaying the same morphology and topography of the mammalian cells used as templates are fabricated. The replicas are used as substrates to direct the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to predefined cell lineages. Upregulation of specific genes shows how the silica replica-based substrates have the ability to induce the molecular characteristics of the mature cell types from which they have been derived from. Thus, MSCs cultured in the presence of silica replicas of human osteoblasts (HObs) differentiate into HObs-like cells, as shown by the upregulation of specific osteogenic genes. Likewise, when MSCs are incubated with silica replicas derived from human chondrocytes, an enhanced expression of chondrogenic markers is observed. Importantly, the effects of the silica replicas are cell type-specific since the incubation of MSCs with HObs silica replicas does not result in upregulation of chondrogenic markers and vice versa. What is more, for both cases, the differentiation rate is enhanced when the silica replicas are used in combination with growth factors, suggesting a potential synergistic effect. These results demonstrate the potential of this innovative method as an efficient and cheap approach with the potential to eliminate, or at least reduce, the use of biochemically soluble compounds in stem cells research.

Abstract
Corneal stromal disorders due to the loss of keratocytes can affect visual impairment and blindness. Corneal cell therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy for healing corneal tissue or even enhancing corneal function upon advanced disorders, however, the sources of corneal keratocytes are limited for clinical applications. Here, the capacity of cell-imprinted substrates fabricated by molding human keratocyte templates to induce differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) into keratocytes, is presented. Keratocytes are isolated from human corneal stroma and grown to transmit their ECM architecture and cell-like topographies to a PDMS substrate. The hADSCs are then seeded on cell-imprinted substrates and their differentiation to keratocytes in DMEM/F12 (with and without chemical factors) are evaluated by real-time PCR and immunocytochemistry. The mesenchymal stem cells grown on patterned substrates present gene and protein expression profiles similar to corneal keratocytes. In contrast, a negligible expression of myofibroblast marker in the hADSCs cultivated on the imprinted substrates, is observed. Microscopic analysis reveals dendritic morphology and ellipsoid nuclei similar to primary keratocytes. Overall, it is demonstrated that biomimetic imprinted substrates would be a sufficient driver to solely direct the stem cell fate toward target cells which is a significant achievement toward corneal regeneration.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are a subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells. Compared to bone marrow-derived stem cells, they can be harvested with minimal invasiveness. ASCs can be easily expanded and were shown to be able to differentiate into several clinically relevant cell types. Therefore, this cell type represents a promising component in various tissue engineering and medical approaches (e.g., cell therapy). In vivo cells are surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM) that provides a wide range of tissue-specific physical and chemical cues, such as stiffness, topography, and chemical composition. Cells can sense the characteristics of their ECM and respond to them in a specific cellular behavior (e.g., proliferation or differentiation). Thus, in vitro biomaterial properties represent an important tool to control ASCs behavior. In this review, we give an overview of the current research in the mechanosensing of ASCs and current studies investigating the impact of material stiffens, topography, and chemical modification on ASC behavior. Additionally, we outline the use of natural ECM as a biomaterial and its interaction with ASCs regarding cellular behavior.

Abstract
It is well established that surface topography can affect cell functions. However, finding a reproducible and reliable method for regulating stem cell behavior is still under investigation. It has been shown that cell imprinted substrates contain micro- and nanoscale structures of the cell membrane that serve as hierarchical substrates, can successfully alter stem cell fate. This study investigated the effect of the overall cell shape by fabricating silicon wafers containing pit structure in the average size of spherical-like chondrocytes using photolithography technique. We also used chondrocyte cell line (C28/I2) with spindle-like shape to produce cell imprinted substrates. The effect of all substrates on the differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) has been studied. The AFM and scanning electron microscopy images of the prepared substrates demonstrated that the desired shapes were successfully transferred to the substrates. Differentiation of ADSCs was investigated by immunostaining for mature chondrocyte marker, collagen II, and gene expression of collagen II, Sox9, and aggrecan markers. C28/I2 imprinted substrate could effectively enhanced chondrogenic differentiation compared to regular pit patterns on the wafer. It can be concluded that cell imprinted substrates can induce differentiation signals better than engineered lithographic substrates. The nanostructures on the cell-imprinted patterns play a crucial role in harnessing cell fate. Therefore, the patterns must include the nano-topographies to have reliable and reproducible engineered substrates.

Abstract
Macrophages are essential immune cells and play a major role in the immune response as pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory agents depending on their plasticity and functions. Infiltration and activation of macrophages are usually involved in wound healing. Herein, we first described macrophage polarization and their critical functions in wound healing process. It is addressed how macrophages collaborate with other immune cells in the wound microenvironment. Targeting macrophages by manipulating or re-educating macrophages in inflammation using nanomedicines is a novel and feasible strategy for wound management. We discussed the design and physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and their functions for macrophages activation and anti-inflammatory signaling during wound therapy. The mechanism of action of the strategies and appropriate examples are also summarized to highlight the pros and cons of those approaches. Finally, the potential of nanomedicines to modulate macrophage polarization for skin regeneration is discussed.

Abstract
Physical and chemical parameters that mimic the physiological niche of the human body have an influence on stem cell fate by creating directional signals to cells. Micro/nano cell-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates, due to their ability to mimic the physiological niche, have been widely used in surface modification. Integration of other factors such as the biochemical coating on the surface can achieve more similar microenvironmental conditions and promote stem cell differentiation to the target cell line. Herein, we investigated the effect of physical topography, chemical functionalization by acid bone lysate (ABL) nanocoating, and the combined functionalization of the bone proteins' nanocoated surface and the topographically modified surface. We prepared four distinguishing surfaces: plain PDMS, physically modified PDMS by 3D cell topography patterning, chemically modified PDMS with bone protein nanocoating, and chemically modified nano 3D cell-imprinted PDMS by bone proteins (ABL). Characterization of extracted ABL was carried out by Bradford staining and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, followed by the MTT assay for evaluation of cell viability on ABL-coated PDMS. Moreover, field emission scanning electron microscopy and profilometry were used for the determination of optimal coating thickness, and the appropriate coating concentration was identified and used in the study. The binding and retention of ABL to PDMS were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and bicinchoninic acid assay. Sessile drop static water contact angle measurements on substrates showed that the combined chemical functionalization and nano 3D cell-imprinting on the PDMS surface improved surface wettability by 66% compared to plain PDMS. The results of ALP measurement, alizarin red S staining, immunofluorescence staining, and real-time PCR showed that the nano 3D cell-imprinted PDMS surface functionalized by extracted bone proteins, ABL, is able to guide the fate of adipose derived stem cellss toward osteogenic differentiation. Eventually, chemical modification of the cell-imprinted PDMS substrate by bone protein extraction not only improved the cell adhesion and proliferation but also contributed to the topographical effect itself and caused a significant synergistic influence on the process of osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Cornea as the outermost layer of the eye is at risk of various genetic and environmental diseases that can damage the cornea and impair vision. Corneal transplantation is among the most applicable surgical procedures for repairing the defected tissue. However, the scarcity of healthy tissue donations as well as transplantation failure has remained as the biggest challenges in confront of corneal grafting. Therefore, alternative approaches based on stem-cell transplantation and classic regenerative medicine have been developed for corneal regeneration. In this review, the application and limitation of the recently-used advanced approaches for regeneration of cornea are discussed. Additionally, other emerging powerful techniques such as 5D printing as a new branch of scaffold-based technologies for construction of tissues other than the cornea are highlighted and suggested as alternatives for corneal reconstruction. The introduced novel techniques may have great potential for clinical applications in corneal repair including disease modeling, 3D pattern scheming, and personalized medicine.

Abstract
It has been proved that cell-imprinted substrates molded from template cells can be used for the re-culture of that cell while preserving its normal behavior or to differentiate the cultured stem cells into the template cell. In this study, a microfluidic device was presented to modify the previous irregular cell-imprinted substrate and increase imprinting efficiency by regular and objective cell culture. First, a cell-imprinted substrate from template cells was prepared using a microfluidic chip in a regular pattern. Another microfluidic chip with the same pattern was then aligned on the cell-imprinted substrate to create a chondrocyte-imprinted-based integrated microfluidic device. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were used to obtain suitable conditions for injecting cells into the microfluidic chip before performing experimental evaluations. In this simulation, the effect of input flow rate, number per unit volume, and size of injected cells in two different chip sizes were examined on exerted shear stress and cell trajectories. This numerical simulation was first validated with experiments with cell lines. Finally, chondrocyte was used as template cell to evaluate the chondrogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in the chondrocyte-imprinted-based integrated microfluidic device. ADSCs were positioned precisely on the chondrocyte patterns, and without using any chemical growth factor, their fibroblast-like morphology was modified to the spherical morphology of chondrocytes after 14 days of culture. Both immunostaining and gene expression analysis showed improvement in chondrogenic differentiation compared to traditional imprinting methods. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of cell-imprinted-based integrated microfluidic devices for biomedical applications.

Cell-imprinting technology is a novel method for directing stem cell fate using substrates molded from target cells. Here, we fabricated and studied cell-imprinted substrates for neural priming in human adipose-derived stem cells in the absence of chemical cues. We molded polydimethylsiloxane silicone substrates on fixed differentiated neural progenitor cells (ReNcellTMVM). The ReNcellTMcell line consists of immortalized human neural progenitor cells that are capable to differentiate into neural cells. The fabricated cell-imprinted silicone substrates represent the geometrical micro- and nanotopology of the target cell morphology. During the molding procedure, no transfer of cellular proteins was detectable. In the first test with undifferentiated ReNcellTMVM cells, the cell-imprinted substrates could accelerate neural differentiation. With adipose-derived stem cells cultivated on the imprinted substrates, we observed modifications of cell morphology, shifting from spread to elongated shape. Both immunofluorescence and quantitative gene expression analysis showed upregulation of neural stem cell and early neuronal markers. Our study, for the first time, demonstrated the effectiveness of cell-imprinted substrates for neural priming of adipose-derived stem cells for regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Tissue Engineering (TE) represents a promising solution to fabricate engineered constructs able to restore tissue damage after implantation. In the classic TE approach, biomaterials are used alongside growth factors to create a scaffolding structure that supports cells during the construct maturation. A current challenge in TE is the creation of engineered constructs able to mimic the complex microenvironment found in the natural tissue, so as to promote and guide cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. In this context, the introduction inside the scaffold of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)—synthetic receptors able to reversibly bind to biomolecules—holds great promise to enhance the scaffold-cell interaction. In this review, we analyze the main strategies that have been used for MIP design and fabrication with a particular focus on biomedical research. Furthermore, to highlight the potential of MIPs for scaffold-based TE, we present recent examples on how MIPs have been used in TE to introduce biophysical cues as well as for drug delivery and sequestering.

Abstract
Herein, we integrate cell-imprinted substrate (CIS) and allochroic-graphene oxide (AGO) for specific visualization sorting of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The state-of-the-art-of detection method relies on the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-like sandwich strategy with hierarchical recognition. The target tumor cells are first selectively captured by the CIS based on cell imprinted recognition, and then specifically labeled with AGO by boronate affinity recognition between boronic acid on AGO and cis-diols on the surface of target cells. The selectively recognition of CIS for target template cells is verified by cell function experiments. It is also worth mentioning that the AGO can specifically recognize target tumor cells under physiological pH, and then perform signal amplification and output through pH-triggered allochroism. The CIS linked AGO for cell assay (CIS-AGO-CA) is successfully used for visualization detection of human hepatocarcinoma HLE cells from hepatocyte suspension. When the hepatocyte suspension is spiked with 1.0 × 105 cells, the recoveries of CIS-AGO-CA are 80.67 ± 4.33% for target HLE cells, and only 12.00 ± 1.00% for non-target Hep3B cells. It is worth emphasizing that the CIS-AGO-CA process is antibody-free. Therefore, this novel ELISA-like sandwich strategy is high specificity, cost-efficient and easy-to-use, and exhibits great prospect in the visualization sorting of tumor subpopulation.

Abstract
Cell-imprinted substrates direct stem cell differentiation into various lineages, suggesting the idea of lineage-specific nanotopography. We herein examined the surface topography of five different imprinted cell patterns using AFM imaging and statistical analysis of amplitude, spatial, and hybrid roughness parameters. The results suggest that different cell imprints possess distinguished nanotopographical features.

Abstract
Separating cells from the body and cultivating them in vitro will alter the function of cells. Therefore, for optimal cell culture in the laboratory, conditions similar to those of their natural growth should be provided. In previous studies, it has been shown that the use of cellular shape at the culture surface can regulate cellular function. In this work, the efficiency of the imprinting method increased by using microfluidic chip design and fabrication. In this method, first, a cell-imprinted substrate of chondrocytes was made using a microfluidic chip. Afterwards, stem cells were cultured on a cell-imprinted substrate using a second microfluidic chip aligned with the substrate. Therefore, stem cells were precisely placed on the chondrocyte patterns on the substrate and their fibroblast-like morphology was changed to chondrocyte's spherical morphology after 14-days culture in the chip without using any chemical growth factor. After chondrogenic differentiation and in vitro assessments (real-time PCR and immunocytotoxicity), differentiated stem cells were transferred on a collagen-hyaluronic acid scaffold and transplanted in articular cartilage defect of the rabbit. After 6 months, the post-transplantation analysis showed that the articular cartilage defect had been successfully regenerated in differentiated stem cell groups in comparison with the controls. In conclusion, this study showed the potency of the imprinting method for inducing chondrogenicity in stem cells, which can be used in clinical trials due to the safety of the procedure.

Abstract
The poor healing associated with chronic wounds affects millions of people worldwide through high mortality rates and associated costs. Chronic wounds present three main problems: First, the absence of a suitable environment to facilitate cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis; second, bacterial infection; and third, unbalanced and prolonged inflammation. Unfortunately, current therapeutic approaches have not been able to overcome these main issues and, therefore, have limited clinical success. Over the past decade, incorporating the unique advantages of nanomedicine into wound healing approaches has yielded promising outcomes. Nanomedicine is capable of stimulating various cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the wound microenvironment via antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenetic effects, potentially reversing the wound microenvironment from nonhealing to healing. This review briefly discusses wound healing mechanisms and pathophysiology and then highlights recent findings regarding the opportunities and challenges of using nanomedicine in chronic wound management.

Abstract
Tendon tissue engineering based on stem cell differentiation has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. Previous studies have examined the effect of cell-imprinted polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate on induction differentiation in stem cells. In this study, we used tenocyte morphology as a positive mold to create a tenocyte-imprinted substrate on PDMS. The morphology and topography of this tenocyte replica on PDMS was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy. The tenogenic differentiation induction capacity of the tenocyte replica in adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) was then investigated and compared with other groups, including tissue replica (which was produced similarly to the tenocyte replica and was evaluated by SEM), decellularized tendon, and bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-12, as other potential inducers. This comparison gives us an estimate of the ability of tenocyte-imprinted PDMS (called cell replica in the present study) to induce differentiation compared to other inducers. For this reason, ADSCs were divided into five groups, including control, cell replica, tissue replica, decellularized tendon and BMP-12. ADSCs were seeded on each group separately and investigated by the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique after seven and 14 days. Our results showed that in spite of the higher effect of the growth factor on tenogenic differentiation, the cell replica can also induce tenocyte marker expression (scleraxis and tenomodulin) in ADSCs. Moreover, the tenogenic differentiation induction capacity of the cell replica was greater than tissue replica. Immunocytochemistry analysis revealed that ADSCs seeding on the cell replica for 14 days led to scleraxis and tenomodulin expression at the protein level. In addition, immunohistochemistry indicated that contrary to the promising results in vitro, there was little difference between ADSCs cultured on tenocyte-imprinted PDMS and untreated ADSCs. The results of such studies could lead to the production of inexpensive cell culture plates or biomaterials that can induce differentiation in stem cells without growth factors or other supplements.

Abstract
The adult myocardium has a limited regenerative capacity following heart injury, and the lost cells are primarily replaced by fibrotic scar tissue. Suboptimal efficiency of current clinical therapies to resurrect the infarcted heart results in injured heart enlargement and remodeling to maintain its physiological functions. These remodeling processes ultimately leads to ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure (HF). Recent therapeutic approaches (e.g., regenerative and nanomedicine) have shown promise to prevent HF postmyocardial infarction in animal models. However, these preclinical, clinical, and technological advancements have yet to yield substantial enhancements in the survival rate and quality of life of patients with severe ischemic injuries. This could be attributed largely to the considerable gap in knowledge between clinicians and nanobioengineers. Development of highly effective cardiac regenerative therapies requires connecting and coordinating multiple fields, including cardiology, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and chemistry, and mechanical and materials sciences, among others. This review is particularly intended to bridge the knowledge gap between cardiologists and regenerative nanomedicine experts. Establishing this multidisciplinary knowledge base may help pave the way for developing novel, safer, and more effective approaches that will enable the medical community to reduce morbidity and mortality in HF patients.

Abstract
Since their conception 50 years ago, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have seen extensive development both in terms of synthetic routes and applications. Cells are perhaps the most challenging target for molecular imprinting. Although early work was based almost entirely around microprinting methods, recent developments have shifted towards epitope imprinting to generate MIP nanoparticles (NPs). Simultaneously, the development of techniques such as solid phase MIP synthesis has solved many historic issues of MIP production. This review briefly describes various approaches used in cell imprinting with a focus on applications of the created materials in imaging, drug delivery, diagnostics, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Differentiation of stem cells to Schwann is considered efficient way for nerve regeneration since the sources of human Schwann cells are limited for clinical application. It is demonstrated that mimicking micromechanical forces or micro/nanotopographical environments that stem cells are experienced in vivo could control their fate. Here, the potency of substrates with imprinted cell-like topographies for direct differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) into Schwann cells (SCs) is reported. For the preparation of substrates with imprinted SC-Like topographies, SCs are isolated from the sciatic nerve, grown, fixed, and then SC morphologies are transferred to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates by mold casting. Subsequently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are seeded on the SC-imprinted substrates and their differentiation to SCs is evaluated by immunocytochemistry, real-time PCR, and western blotting. Analysis of morphology and expression of SC-specific markers show that MSCs cultured on the imprinted substrates have the typical SC-like morphology and express SC-specific markers including S100b, p75NTR, and Sox10. It is believed that specific cell-like topographies and related micromechanical cues can be sufficient for direct differentiation of ADSCs into Schwann cells by cell-imprinting method as a physical technique.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting is an approach of generating imprinting cavities in polymer structures that are compatible with the target molecules. The cavities have memory for shape and chemical recognition, similar to the recognition mechanism of antigen-antibody in organisms. Their structures are also called biomimetic receptors or synthetic receptors. Owing to the excellent selectivity and unique structural predictability of molecularly imprinted materials (MIMs), practical MIMs have become a rapidly evolving research area providing key factors for understanding separation, recognition, and regenerative properties toward biological small molecules to biomacromolecules, even cell and microorganism. In this review, the characteristics, morphologies, and applicability of currently popular carrier materials for molecular imprinting, especially the fundamental role of hydrogels, porous materials, hierarchical nanoparticles, and 2D materials in the separation and recognition of biological templates are discussed. Moreover, through a series of case studies, emphasis is given on introducing imprinting strategies for biological templates with different molecular scales. In particular, the differences and connections between small molecular imprinting (bulk imprinting, "dummy" template imprinting, etc.), large molecular imprinting (surface imprinting, interfacial imprinting, etc.), and cell imprinting strategies are demonstrated in detail. Finally, future research directions are provided.

Abstract
Development of multicellular organisms is a very complex and organized process during which cells respond to various factors and features in extracellular environments. It has been demonstrated that during embryonic evolvement, under certain physiological or experimental conditions, unspecialized cells or stem cells can be induced to become tissue or organ-specific cells with special functions. Considering the importance of physical cues in stem cell fate, the present study reviews the role of physical factors in stem cells differentiation and discusses the molecular mechanisms associated with these factors.

Abstract
A cell-imprinted poly(dimethylsiloxane)/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite substrate was fabricated to engage topographical, mechanical, and chemical signals to stimulate and boost stem cell osteogenic differentiation. The physicochemical properties of the fabricated substrates, with nanoscale resolution of osteoblast morphology, were probed using a wide range of techniques including scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and water contact angle measurements. The osteogenic differentiation capacity of the cultured stem cells on these substrates was probed by alizarin red staining, ALP activity, osteocalcin measurements, and gene expression analysis. The outcomes revealed that the concurrent roles of the surface patterns and viscoelastic properties of the substrate provide the capability of directing stem cell differentiation toward osteogenic phenotypes. Besides the physical and mechanical effects, we found that the chemical signaling of osteoinductive hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, embedded in the nanocomposite substrates, could further improve and optimize stem cell osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Development of multicellular organisms is a highly orchestrated process, with cells responding to factors and features present in the extracellular milieu. Changes in the surrounding environment help decide the fate of cells at various stages of development. This review highlights recent research that details the effects of mechanical properties of the surrounding environment and extracellular matrix and the underlying molecular mechanisms that regulate the behavior of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In this study, we review the role of mechanical properties during embryogenesis and discuss the effect of engineered microtopographies on ESC pluripotency.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS It is now being increasingly accepted that cells in their native tissue show different morphologies than those grown on a culture plate. Culturing cells on the conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture plates does not closely resemble the in vivo three-dimensional (3D) structure of cells which in turn seems to affect cellular function. This is one of the reasons, among many others, that nanoparticles uptake and toxicology data from 2D culture plates and in vivo environments are not correlated with one another. In this study, we offer a novel platform technology for producing more in vivo-like models of in vitro cell culture. EXPERIMENTS The normal fibroblast cells (HU02) were cultured on "pseudo-3D" substrates, made from cell imprinting approach. The respond of the cells to a model nanoparticle (gold nanorod) were compared in 2D and "pseudo-3D" cultures modes, by cytotoxicological assays. FINDINGS It is illustrated here that the cells' respond to the exact same type of nanoparticles is majorly dependant in their shape. The use of "pseudo-3D" substrates which could partially mimic the shape of cells in vivo is strongly proposed as a means of better predicting the efficacy of the 2D cell culture plates.

Abstract
Background Topography at different scales plays an important role in directing mesenchymal stem cell differentiation including adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and the differential effect remains to be investigated. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the similarity and difference between micro- and nanoscaled aligned topography for inducing tenogenic differentiation of human ASCs (hASCs). Methods Parallel microgrooved PDMS membrane and a parallel aligned electrospun nanofibers of gelatin/poly-ε-caprolactone mixture were employed as the models for the study. Results Aligned topographies of both microscales and nanoscales could induce an elongated cell shape with parallel alignment, as supported by quantitative cell morphology analysis (cell area, cell body aspect, and cell body major axis angle). qPCR analysis also demonstrated that the aligned topography at both scales could induce the gene expressions of various tenogenic markers at the 7th day of in vitro culture including tenomodulin, collagen I and collagen VI, decorin, tenascin-C and biglycan, but with upregulated expression of scleraxis and tenascin-C only in microscaled topography. Additionally, tenogenic differentiation at the 3rd day was confirmed only at microscale. Furthermore, microscaled topography was confirmed for its tenogenic induction at tissue level as neotendon tissue was formed with the evidence of mature type I collagen fibers only in parallel aligned polyglycolic acid (PGA) microfibers after in vitro culture with mouse ASCs. Instead, only fat tissue was formed in random patterned PGA microfibers. Conclusion Both microscaled and nanoscaled aligned topographies could induce tenogenic differentiation of hASCs and micro-scaled topography seemed better able to induce elongated cell shape and stable tenogenic marker expression when compared to nanoscaled topography. The microscaled inductive effect was also confirmed at tissue level by neotendon formation in vitro.

Abstract
The interaction of biological cells with artificial biomaterials is one of the most important issues in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The interaction is strongly governed by physical and chemical properties of the materials and displayed with differentiated cellular behaviors, including cell self-renewal, differentiation, reprogramming, dedifferentiation, or transdifferentiation as a result. A number of engineered biomaterials with micro- or nano-structures have been developed to mimic structural components of cell niche and specific function of extra cellular matrix (ECM) over past two decades. In this review article, we briefly introduce the fabrication of biomaterials and their classification into zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ones. More importantly, the influence of different biomaterials on inducing cell self-renewal, differentiation, reprogramming, dedifferentiation, and transdifferentiation was discussed based on the progress at 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D levels, following which the current research limitations and research perspectives were provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) is a typical epithelial marker. In this study, we determined whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) could enhance CK19 expression in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), thereby inducing the differentiation of ADSCs into epithelial-like cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS ADSCs were isolated from perinephric fat, and the expression of CD29, CD90, and CD105 was confirmed. Following isolation, ADSCs were cultured in static medium or medium containing EGF or bFGF. RESULTS Flow cytometry revealed that EGF and bFGF could alter mesenchymal stem cell markers as well as the cell cycle of ADSCs. Western blotting and immunofluorescence revealed that after 14 days, EGF treatment enhanced the expression of CK19 in ADSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings offer important insight for the clinical use of ADSCs in the generation of epithelial-like cells in the future.

Abstract
The proper integration of biophysical cues from the cell vicinity is crucial for cells to maintain homeostasis, cooperate with other cells within the tissues, and properly fulfill their biological function. It is therefore crucial to fully understand how cells integrate these extracellular signals for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Topography has emerged as a prominent component of the cellular microenvironment that has pleiotropic effects on cell behavior. This progress report focuses on the recent advances in the understanding of the topography sensing mechanism with a special emphasis on the role of the nucleus. Here, recent techniques developed for monitoring the nuclear mechanics are reviewed and the impact of various topographies and their consequences on nuclear organization, gene regulation, and stem cell fate is summarized. The role of the cell nucleus as a sensor of cell-scale topography is further discussed.

Abstract
According to the latest report from the World Health Organization, an estimated 265,000 deaths still occur every year as a direct result of burn injuries. A widespread range of these deaths induced by burn wound happens in low- and middle-income countries, where survivors face a lifetime of morbidity. Most of the deaths occur due to infections when a high percentage of the external regions of the body area is affected. Microbial nutrient availability, skin barrier disruption, and vascular supply destruction in burn injuries as well as systemic immunosuppression are important parameters that cause burns to be susceptible to infections. Topical antimicrobials and dressings are generally employed to inhibit burn infections followed by a burn wound therapy, because systemic antibiotics have problems in reaching the infected site, coupled with increasing microbial drug resistance. Nanotechnology has provided a range of molecular designed nanostructures (NS) that can be used in both therapeutic and diagnostic applications in burns. These NSs can be divided into organic and non-organic (such as polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) and silver NPs, respectively), and many have been designed to display multifunctional activity. The present review covers the physiology of skin, burn classification, burn wound pathogenesis, animal models of burn wound infection, and various topical therapeutic approaches designed to combat infection and stimulate healing. These include biological based approaches (e.g. immune-based antimicrobial molecules, therapeutic microorganisms, antimicrobial agents, etc.), antimicrobial photo- and ultrasound-therapy, as well as nanotechnology-based wound healing approaches as a revolutionizing area. Thus, we focus on organic and non-organic NSs designed to deliver growth factors to burned skin, and scaffolds, dressings, etc. for exogenous stem cells to aid skin regeneration. Eventually, recent breakthroughs and technologies with substantial potentials in tissue regeneration and skin wound therapy (that are as the basis of burn wound therapies) are briefly taken into consideration including 3D-printing, cell-imprinted substrates, nano-architectured surfaces, and novel gene-editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas.

Abstract
Cells can sense and respond to changes in the topographical, chemical, and mechanical information in their environment. Engineered substrates are increasingly being developed that exploit these physical attributes to direct cell responses (most notably mesenchymal stem cells) and therefore control cell behavior toward desired applications. However, there are very few methods available for robust and accurate modeling that can predict cell behavior prior to experimental evaluations, and this typically means that many cell test iterations are needed to identify best material features. Here, we developed a unifying computational framework to create a multicomponent cell model, called the "virtual cell model" that has the capability to predict changes in whole cell and cell nucleus characteristics (in terms of shape, direction, and even chromatin conformation) on a range of cell substrates. Modeling data were correlated with cell culture experimental outcomes in order to confirm the applicability of the virtual cell model and demonstrating the ability to reflect the qualitative behavior of mesenchymal stem cells. This may provide a reliable, efficient, and fast high-throughput approach for the development of optimized substrates for a broad range of cellular applications including stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
The adult mammalian heart possesses only limited capacity for innate regeneration and the response to severe injury is dominated by the formation of scar tissue. Current therapy to replace damaged cardiac tissue is limited to cardiac transplantation and thus many patients suffer progressive decay in the heart's pumping capacity to the point of heart failure. Nanostructured systems have the potential to revolutionize both preventive and therapeutic approaches for treating cardiovascular disease. Here, we outline recent advancements in nanotechnology that could be exploited to overcome the major obstacles in the prevention of and therapy for heart disease. We also discuss emerging trends in nanotechnology affecting the cardiovascular field that may offer new hope for patients suffering massive heart attacks.

Abstract
Spatial confinement limits the conformational space accessible to biomolecules but the implications for bimolecular topology are not yet known. Folded linear biopolymers can be seen as molecular circuits formed by intramolecular contacts. The pairwise arrangement of intra-chain contacts can be categorized as parallel, series or cross, and has been identified as a topological property. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we determine the contact order distributions and topological circuits of short semi-flexible linear and ring polymer chains with a persistence length of lp under a spherical confinement of radius Rc. At low values of lp/Rc, the entropy of the linear chain leads to the formation of independent contacts along the chain and accordingly, increases the fraction of series topology with respect to other topologies. However, at high lp/Rc, the fraction of cross and parallel topologies are enhanced in the chain topological circuits with cross becoming predominant. At an intermediate confining regime, we identify a critical value of lp/Rc, at which all topological states have equal probability. Confinement thus equalizes the probability of more complex cross and parallel topologies to the level of the more simple, non-cooperative series topology. Moreover, our topology analysis reveals distinct behaviours for ring- and linear polymers under weak confinement; however, we find no difference between ring- and linear polymers under strong confinement. Under weak confinement, ring polymers adopt parallel and series topologies with equal likelihood, while linear polymers show a higher tendency for series arrangement. The radial distribution analysis of the topology reveals a non-uniform effect of confinement on the topology of polymer chains, thereby imposing more pronounced effects on the core region than on the confinement surface. Additionally, our results reveal that over a wide range of confining radii, loops arranged in parallel and cross topologies have nearly the same contact orders. Such degeneracy implies that the kinetics and transition rates between the topological states cannot be solely explained by contact order. We expect these findings to be of general importance in understanding chaperone assisted protein folding, chromosome architecture, and the evolution of molecular folds.

Abstract
The global burden of disease associated with wounds is an increasingly significant public health concern. Current treatments are often expensive, time-consuming and limited in their efficacy in chronic wounds. The challenge of overcoming current barriers associated with wound care requires innovative management techniques. Regenerative medicine is an emerging field of research that focuses on the repair, replacement or regeneration of cells, tissues or organs to restore impaired function. This article provides an overview of the pathophysiology of wound healing and reviews the latest evidence on the application of the principal components of regenerative medicine (growth factors, stem cell transplantation, biomaterials and tissue engineering) as therapeutic targets. Improved knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiology of wound healing has pointed to new therapeutic targets. Regenerative medicine has the potential to underpin the design of specific target therapies in acute and chronic wound healing. This personalised approach could eventually reduce the burden of disease associated with wound healing. Further evidence is required in the form of large animal studies and clinical trials to assess long-term efficacy and safety of these new treatments.

Abstract
Differentiation of stem cells into mature cells through the use of physical approaches is of great interest. Here, we prepared smart nanoenvironments by cell-imprinted substrates based on chondrocytes, tenocytes, and semifibroblasts as templates and demonstrated their potential for differentiation, redifferentiation, and transdifferentiation. Analysis of shape and upregulation/downregulation of specific genes of stem cells, which were seeded on these cell-imprinted substrates, confirmed that imprinted substrates have the capability to induce specific shapes and molecular characteristics of the cell types that were used as templates for cell-imprinting. Interestingly, immunofluorescent staining of a specific protein in chondrocytes (i.e., collagen type II) confirmed that adipose-derived stem cells, semifibroblasts, and tenocytes can acquire the chondrocyte phenotype after a 14 day culture on chondrocyte-imprinted substrates. In summary, we propose that common polystyrene tissue culture plates can be replaced by this imprinting technique as an effective and promising way to regulate any cell phenotype in vitro with significant potential applications in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies.

Abstract
The present review article focuses on gathering, summarizing, and critically evaluating the results of the last decade on separating and sensing macromolecular compounds and microorganisms with the use of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) synthetic receptors. Macromolecules play an important role in biology and are termed that way to contrast them from micromolecules. The former are large and complex molecules with relatively high molecular weights. The article mainly considers chemical sensing of deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs), proteins and protein fragments as well as sugars and oligosaccharides. Moreover, it briefly discusses fabrication of chemosensors for determination of bacteria and viruses that can ultimately be considered as extremely large macromolecules.

Abstract
As research progresses, nanoparticles (NPs) are becoming increasingly promising tools for medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Despite this rise, their potential risks to human health, together with environmental issues, has led to increasing concerns regarding their use. As such, a comprehensive understanding of the interactions that occur at the nano-bio interface is required in order to design safe, reliable and efficient NPs for biomedical applications. To this end, extensive studies have been dedicated to probing the factors that define various properties of the nano-bio interface. However, the literature remains unclear and contains conflicting reports on cytotoxicity and biological fates, even for seemingly identical NPs. This uncertainty reveals that we frequently fail to identify and control relevant parameters that unambiguously and reproducibly determine the toxicity of nanoparticles, both in vitro and in vivo. An effective understanding of the toxicological impact of NPs requires the consideration of relevant factors, including the temperature of the target tissue, plasma gradient, cell shape, interfacial effects and personalized protein corona. In this review, we discuss the factors that play a critical role in nano-bio interface processes and nanotoxicity. A proper combinatorial assessment of these factors substantially changes our insight into the cytotoxicity, distribution and biological fate of NPs.
